Hello readers! In my “Reach Higher in 2016″post, I talked about how I want to validate people in my life more. This is mostly because I feel so special when the important people in my life validate me.
My freshman year in college, I took an ART 101 class. In ART 101 we had to create/decorate a reliquary, put something in it, and explain its importance to the class. Naturally, I decided to modge podge a box with various pictures and quotes that were meaningful to me and inside I stuffed in all the letters, cards, thank yous, and pictures that have been given to me over the years. Now, a year later, it’s almost full and I’ve resorted to sticking them on my bedroom door! Whenever I’m having a bad day I love to crack open my reliquary or read my door adornments and read all the lovely notes; it never fails to put a smile on my face.
There are people who are probably asking, “What makes a post it note so special??” Well, to answer your question: someone took the time to sit down and write me a sweet note. Time is valuable, we don’t know how much we have and it means so much that someone personally took time out of their day to make me smile. I’d rather receive a long, carefully written note instead of a gift because it means so much more.
I’d personally like to thank those who have ever written me something special and a big shout out to those who have been messaging me about how much they enjoy reading my blog. I’m glad I’m able to make your day a little brighter! I love being able to make you smile 🙂 So, sit down and write someone special a note that will make their day!
